My uncle came to visit last Tuesday. All of us cousins met up with him and he brought us to his fav Chinese dining place. According to him, it's the best Chinese restaurant in Melbourne so far. It's called Sung's Kitchen located @ Elizabeth Street. As usual, I took the tram down to the city to meet all of them.





Nice smelling Rose tea as recommended by the supervisor. It is said to enhance good complexion and reduce stress






My cup of wine...i think my uncle ordered Shiraz. Good wine~





a lil bit of the interior






part of the wine cabinet






xiao lung pao....it's nice but really xiao lo...The ones in Kch also not that xiao...






fried golden dumplings which is basically just fried dumplings but the type of meat inside is totally diff from what we can back home... it's Yumm!!







Uncle also ordered prawns, steam fish, beef, vege and chicken did not manage to take the others. It was indeed a dearly missed meal. A good Chinese restaurant with steam fish and prawns..haven't tasted that for so long dy...the food was really good...and i had two and a half glass of wine. Even helped my cousin to drink his as he gets red easily.hahaha... My head was a lil spinning after that but we still went for ice-cream for dessert.



Il Dolce Freddo....here we come!! It is known for the best Italian Ice-cream in Melbourne city. They are most famous for their durian ice-cream which tastes somewhat similar to eating real malaysian durian where you can taste the durian fiber in the ice-cream.





My Pick.... Roche and Cookies!!! ***Heaven***





Well, got back feeling a lil tipsy after that. It was my first time I got tipsy since i came to Melbourne. Must be the wine. Ying Zhen and Ches said that they could smell the smell of alco in me. My face wasn't red however, my eyes were red and my body and arms had spots of red.LOL..... But i was okay. The weather outside was cold but I felt warm the whole nite. I was good..I had fun and slept very well like a baby till the next morning.

In conclusion, cold weather = drink wine = warm = good nite's sleep :D

Apologies for the lack of updates. I have got tons of pics to show u guys but.... Been pretty lazy. hehehe.... ;)

Two Sundays ago, Ying Zhen and I went to Planet Shakers. It is located on Collins Street, held at the Dallas Convention Center. It was worth the trip although we got home late and tired. Planet Shakers was indeed an awesome event!!!


Some pics taken during the event. Sorry for the quality.












Along the way..the whole of that day....



2 dogs in front of Safeway while their owner does shopping. They were looking into my direction when i took the cam out but turned away when i clicked...!!!





This one is a smart one. It was standing but when i took my camera out, it sat down quietly and looked all poised. Probabaly well-trained. hahaha...

Glenferrie Road Festival '08

The place we live is off Glenferrie road and there's a station called the Glenferrie station. It is also the nearest station where we take trains to the city. Glenferrie Road Festival is an annual event where it's like food and fun fair, sales and discounts in which nearly every shop along Glenferrie road will participate and for that very one day. As there are quite a number of shops and franchises of shops that can be found in the city, Glenferrie seems like a little town by itself with all the stores and shops conveniently located.


Sorry for the very outdated pics. Here are some.






Glenferrie Road




The Sunday crowd...young and old..came to take part in the festival





Animal On the Move is here.....!!!!






A sleeping cow and a busy wandering duck






One big happy family... ducklings, chicks, guinea pigs and hamsters all playing together





It's really sweet to see how much these young children are very loving and passionate towards animals at such tender age. *big clap for them* Malaysia should learn from them.






Cars were not allowed to pass so people can walk freely on the road




The mini Ferris Wheel






Bumper Car Booth




The game booth with so many plush toys





Activity Bus for Kids







The sun went down..the little farm animals went home
